Raising sheep.

How / raise my sheep was the topic Of
q successful wool-gr0wer at the meeting
of the Iowa livestock men lie said /:
~ would prefer pure bred stock, bit as
that is expansive I usually get grades
and breed up, for it takes but 4 short
time to breed up d good flick. i have
always used pure bred Kerino rams, be-
ing convinced that for profit, where
sheep are kept in 1oaks of 100 or more,
there is no equal to the 1Tcrino and its
crosses. I aim to couple so as to have
lambs dropped as soon as grass comes ii
spring. want lambs to come early, vet
not before there Is pasture enough So that
the ewes will have plenty Of milk. Dur
ing Landing time keep close watch,
and IL lamb is dropped unless it is
warm weather i see that it goes to the
stable at once and as soon as possible see
that it sucks after which no further
care is needed, except in storms I aim
to castrate all lambs before three weeks
old, and wean them by September lists
During summer know nothing better
than good blue grass and that kept pref
ty short, as sheep do not like long grass.
never feed grain in summer; vet when
pasture is short, / think little grain
would pay. I feed lightly at first in the
fall, but by the time winter sets in lain
to give full feed Of about one bushel Of
corn to 100 head per day, with plenty Of
hay; while on dry feed in winter it is
important that sheep should have plenty
of water When the cold fall rains COM
mence they should be kept dry; no sheep
will thrive when its coat Of wool is
soaked full of water Good care and
shelter are Just as important as good
feeding, for sheep well sheltered will
shear from one to two pounds more per
fleece than when exposed to the weather,
and the wool will sell for higher price
in the market. With fine wool sheep
the wool can be left on until quite late in
the season--frst, because there is great
danger Of losing sheep by cold storms.
if sheared too early in the season; and,
second, the wool is not in the best con-
dition until ths grease raises, which
will not he until the weather is quite
warm. We usually sell as soon as the
clip is ready. / think the Merino sheep
and their crosses the most profitable, be-
cause they, being much smaller, eat less,
and shear more than the coarser ones.
You can keep at least five fine woods on
the same feed You keep three coarse
ones.

Ago-The Prize AmOusts 90
$4,000.

MILw AuKEE. Wis, April ga TO-
mantle discovery OF hidden treasure
in the cellar OF house on the South
Side came to light today. The
fortunate gamers by the find are the
family OF Henry j. Peters, an old resi-
dent OF this city, who died nearly
year ego, at the age Of about go years.
Peters, who for many years kept q
grocery and saloon at the corner Of
First avenue and Scott stree, was
pIgglidly In his babi'e, was always
miserably dresstd, and bore the repu.
tatlon OF being q miser. When on his
deathbed he declined TO make his will
or give his wife accurate information
as 10 his affairs, but told her that after
his death she would find that he had
left plenty for herself and children.
After the old mans death the house
was Iansacked from top to bottom, but
no signs OF money, bonds or securities
Of any kind were found. Months went
by, and the heirs were inclined to
give mp hope, when, one day recently,
an accident occurred which led to a
happy result. The sewer under the
house became clogged, and workmen
were engaged TO remedy the trouble.
On taking up the flo,riug of the cellar
preparatory to their work the men
came across heavy box, securely
locked and too punderous to be moved.
Ga opening the chest II was found Ia
be filed with gold coin--dollars, eagles
and foreign money 10 the aggregate Of
nearly $4,000. The Probate Judge
was Immediately notified OF the fed
The family, comprising widow and
three children, are nov living in &C IN.

been resident Of Milwaukee fol-
twenty five years.

origin of the Primrose league, by the by,

His always signifies something belonging 10

but the fashionable world jumped to the con-
clusion that she meant the late premier, and
at once began to remember how passionately
fond he used to be of primroses There is

that he has respect for primroses, because he

THE SONG OF THE MYSTIC.

In the hush of the valley of silence
dream all the songs that l sing;
Aud the music floats down the dim
ley,
Till each finds a word for wing,
That TO hearts like the dove of the deli
uge,
A message of peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are billows
That never shall break on the beach /;
And l have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech
And have had dreams in the valley
Too lofty for language to speak.
And have seen thoughts in the valley
All mel how my spirit has stirred!
And they wear holy wells on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard /;
They pass through the valley like vir-
gins,
Too pure for the touch of word.
Do you ask me the place of the valley,
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care !?
1t lieth afar between mountains,
And God and His angels are there;
One is the dark mountain of sorrow,
And one the bright mountain of prayer.
Father Ryan.
